Chapter 1366: Chapter 1385: Self-Blame

"Pfft..." Fu Xinwu couldn’t help but almost laugh out loud, "Auntie, I’m older than you, I’m two years older than you!"

"I’m senior to you in generation, so you are my junior."

"I’m talking about age, let’s not bring up seniority." Fu Xinwu arrogantly lifted his chin, "Remember, I am the big sister of Imperial City, always strutting around. It’s always been me who’s got others’ backs, never someone having mine."

"Yes, yes, yes, from now on, I’ll rely on you to have my back."

"Of course! Rest assured and leave yourself to me!" Fu Xinwu patted his chest, speaking in a carefree manner, "I guarantee to take good care of you."

"By the way, where is Ke Wei? I heard he went abroad, but why haven’t we heard any news till now?" Nan Fei suddenly asked, changing the subject.

She switched the topic so abruptly that Fu Xinwu blurted out without being prepared, "That lad is useless, he still hasn’t sorted things out up to now."

"What things?"

Fu Xinwu hurriedly covered his mouth, his red eyes cunningly whirling around as he pretended to be calm and said, "Nothing much, I heard it’s company stuff, you know how this kid is always thinking about making money. He doesn’t even consider what the foundation of the Huo Family is; to us, money is not an issue at all."

In the end, a hint of pride and scorn unintentionally crept onto Fu Xinwu’s face.

Nan Fei blinked her eyes, her heart clear as a mirror, but she didn’t call it out.

After talking for a while, Fu Xinwu was already tired, having not slept all night and cried for so long. Just then, Gu Qiu came over from the opposite side with breakfast, urging them to eat something. Only then did Fu Xinwu go upstairs to sleep.

She also needed to return to the compound in the afternoon to see if there was anything she could help with. Before leaving, Wei Qin said that there was no need for a memorial service, nor a funeral. So, he will be buried in the Martyrs’ Cemetery tomorrow. And after suffering such a huge blow, according to Fu Xinwu, Wei Fangyi planned to take Jiang Yang to the Beidaihe Sanatorium for a stay after everything was settled.

That place has the highest standard sanatorium in the country, and only local big shots can stay there. Both the environment and medical facilities are top-notch, and Wei Qin even has his own exclusive house there.

"Is she okay?" asked Gu Qiu, looking worriedly toward the upstairs.

"She’s fine!" replied Nan Fei, shaking her head before she casually asked Gu Qiu how things were going at the company.

Gu Qiu blushed a bit when asked because recently everything was going well for her. Thanks to the fame and foundation left by Nan Fei and the strong support of Chen Cuihua, she could be described as successful both in fame and fortune.

"I’m doing great, all thanks to you..." Gu Qiu started but then swallowed her words, giving Nan Fei a shy smile, "I know you don’t like to hear these over-courteous words, but I hope you won’t feel shy about turning to me if you ever run into trouble, otherwise, I would feel upset."

Gu Qiu’s mood had indeed been very low recently. She only knew that something had happened to Nan Fei’s family, but no one had told her the specifics. She watched, unable to assist, feeling as if she were excluded by everyone, and even her thriving career in the company and the fashion industry couldn’t cheer her up.

Especially since Yu Yiji kept asking daily where Jiang Yang had gone, even though she explained, her son didn’t understand and insisted on finding Jiang Yang.

Gu Qiu had an argument with Zuo Xinyao, and the two were currently in a cold war.

"I know I’m useless," said Gu Qiu, disheartened, "I wanted to come out last night, but in the end, I didn’t, and I know I can’t help you, I might even make things worse for you."
